Think about all the documents, spreadsheets, data files, music, pictures and emails that are stored on your computer. Your data is extremely important to your professional and personal life. Unfortunately, many people only find this out after a hard drive crash, virus, or natural disaster destroys their files.

A backup of your important files and data serves two purposes. A data backup routine protects your data. And if you store the properly then it provides disaster recovery. Windows computers include a backup component or you can buy a 3rd party backup software such as Norton Ghost. Or you can just burn your data to media such as a DVD or CD. You should back up your data daily or at the minimum weekly.

Once you create a backup, you have to store it in a safe place. A properly stored backup provides a disaster recovery benefit. In the unlikely event of a fire, flood, or theft, you would want some distance between the computer and its backup.

Take the time and back up your data on a regular basis; you don't want to lose everything, and even in the event that a data recovery company can save some or all of your data, it could cost into the thousands to do it.
